Eleven Kids visit Huronview The highlight of the past week at Huronview was the visit by the grade five pupils from the Seaforth School, who spent the day visiting and helping the residents in various ways. A special Mother's Day service was held in the chapel on Sunday morning, May 10, and Mrs. Elsie Henderson sang a solo, accompanied, by Frank Bissett at the organ. The congregation enjoyed two solos by Mrs. Wittick and the choir sang the anthem Heaven Is Nearer Since Mother Is There. Marie Flynn, Stan Hillen, Wilson McCartney, Lorne Lawson, Ken Dale, and Huronview's own Jim Ruddock contributed to the music at old tyme music on Monday afternoon. Anglican Communion was held in the chapel on Tuesday afternoon, while the van had to go to Goderidl on Tuesday afternoon and Fran McLean, Harry Philips, Verda Beckler, Clayton Steel, Muriel Gibson, and Ernest Appleton went along for the ride and enjoyed the scenery. Preparations are being made this week towards the float entry for Klompen Association needs members BY JOANNE BUCHANAN The Goderich and District Association for the Mentally Retarded is desperately in need of new members. "We've hit an all-time low," says Bonnie Graham, president of the association and principal of the Queen Elizabeth Schools "We've been going downhill since 1974. There just seems to be a lack of interest." The association, which takes in the Seaforth, Clinton, Blyth and Auburn areas as well as Goderich, has a present membership of 22 people. And while these members are good workers, explains Mrs. Graham, there is only so much they can do. The association was formed in 1959,. the same year that the Queen Elizabeth School for retarded children was opened in Victoria Public School. At that time the association had many members from the whole area. The association looks after the Kinsmen workshop (ARC Industries) where 23 retarded adults do con- tract work and make crafts to sell. This workshop is funded 80 per cent by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and 20 per cent by the association. The association also looks after the Keays Street Group Home where nine retarded adults reside and learn life -skills such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. Two of these adults have now moved into their own apartment. The group home is also funded 80 per cent by the ministry with the rest of the funds coming from the residents' family benefits. The association, in conjunction with Tuckersmith Township, recently started a pre-school nursery for mentally handicapped children at Vanastra. Seven children are already enrolled in the nursery which has been open since March. There is room for 10. So what would happen to these three services if the association ever had to fold? "I guess they would fold too," says Mrs. Graham. "But we're not going to let that happen." If the workshop and the group home folded, those people benefitting from them would have to return to their parents' homes or go back into institutions. "Once the kids are finished school (at Queen Elizabeth), where do they go? You pour money and energy into these kids and then what? If they don't have a workshop or group home to go to, it doesn't seem fair. They have a right to live outside of in- stitutions," says Mrs: Graham. She explains that the association is not trying to scare people into joining its ranks by threatening to fold. It is simply trying to build its membership back up again. "We're saying look, we can't relax. There is a lot of work left to be done. But we're not through yet." Mrs. Graham says anybody from the area can join the association by purchasing a $2 membership card. You don't have to be the parent of a retarded child to join. You simply have to be willing to help in any way you can.
